"This is the biggest award we can receive in our industry", says Dave Nelson of Land Expressions as their project, Spokane's Huntington Park and the Spokane Tribal Gathering Place, won the prestigious Grand Award from the National Association of Landscape Professionals.

The Land Expressions team also won the Merit Award for Pyrotek Headquarters in downtown Spokane, also from the National Association of Landscape Professionals.

Locally, three other awards have been won this year; the Spokane Mayor's Award for Urban Design was awarded to Land Expressions for Spokane's Tribal Gathering Place, and Best of Awards from both Spokane/CdA Living magazine and Inland Business Catalyst Magazine. Plus, early in the year Land Expressions won the commission to design and build our new Veterans Memorial 'Illuminating Courage', which was publicly dedicated this past Veterans Day. "We are happy to say 2015 has been a winning year", says Dave.

Greg Phillips; Operations Manager and Dave Nelson; Owner and Landscape Architect, traveled to Louisville, Kentucky to accept the national award from NALP. Greg managed the construction and Dave the design teams responsible for Huntington Park and the Spokane Tribal Gathering Place.

Opened in 1987, Land Expressions is a local, family-owned company that provides employment to 3 Landscape Architects, 17 fulltime and 10-15 employees in design, administration, and construction.
